The perimeter of a triangle is 199 inches. If one side of the triangle is six more than the shorter side, and the longer side is

19 more than the shorter side, find the lengths of the three sides?

Shortest side (a) = 58
middle side (b) = 64
longest side (c) = 77

the 3 sides a + b + c = 199
b = a + 6
c = a + 19

substitute your new values for b & c into your original formula, so:
a + (a+6) + (a+19) = 199
3a + 25 = 199
3a = 174
a = 58

then substitute 58 into your b & c formulas to figure out the rest
b = a + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
c = a + 19 = 58 + 19 = 77

Jenny has 1 stamp to begin her collection. She then collects 7 stamps per day. Let y represent the total amount of stamps in Jen
lord [1]

Answer:

<em>y=7x+1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear modeling</u>

Consists of finding a linear equation that represents a situation in real life.

Jenny starts her stamps collection with only 1 stamp.

Then she collects 7 stamps per day.

Let's call

y=total amount of stamps in Jenny's collection

x=number of days

Knowing Jenny collects 7 stamps per day, then in x days, she collects 7x stamps. The total amount can be obtained by adding the first stamp she had. Thus, the model is:

y=7x+1

Find the exact value of sec(-4π/3
melisa1 [442]
<span>Find the exact value of sec(-4π/3).  Note that one full rotation, clockwise, would be -2pi.  We have to determine the Quadrant in which this angle -4pi/3 lies.  Think of this as 4(-pi/3), or 4(-60 degrees).  Starting at the positive x-axis and rotating clockwise, we reach -60, -120, -180 and -240 degrees.  This is in Q III.  The ray representing -240 has adj side = -1 and opp side = to sqrt(3).

Using the Pyth. Theorem to find the length of the hypo, we get hyp = 2.

Thus, the secant of this angle in QIII is hyp / adj, or 2 / sqrt(3)    (answer).  This could also be written as (2/3)sqrt(3).

Write the equation in slope-intercept form for each line based on the information given.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

y = -1x + 6 or y = -x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's identify what slope-intercept form is.

y = mx + b

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

We know the slope is -1, so m = -1. Plug this into our standard equation.

y = -1x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: (2, 4). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

4 = -1(2) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(2)

4 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 from both sides to isolate b.

6 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -1x + 6

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the point again.

y = -1x + 6

4 = -1(2) + 6

4 = -2 + 6

4 = 4

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

Jeremy likes to paint. he estimates the number of paintings he completes using the function p of w equals one third times w plus
arlik [135]

composite function J[P(W)=J(1/3w+4) represent paintings Jeremy completes in a year .

this equation means number of paintings= weeks(rate)

The function P takes a number of weeks as an argument and returns the number of paintings.

The function J takes some argument (unspecified) and returns a number of weeks per year.

The composite function that will give the number of paintings per year will be P(weeks per year) = P(J(y)).  

P(J(y)) = 1/3·J(y) +4 .

Looking at the units of the input and output of each of the functions is called "units analysis."

<h3>What is Unit analysis?</h3>

Unit analysis means using the rules of multiplying and reducing fractions to solve problems involving different units.
